The old FOSWiki was loading down the Web server too heavily and I needed to fix that ASAP. Additionally, we were starting to get into a "split-head" scenario with two websites (production and the vastly different development) that had to be kept in sync; much longer and we would have had a lot of work to do porting newly-added content from the old site to the new site. If you like, think of the current site as a beta. I can give you access to the development site and I am fairly confident we can polish it up the rest of the way for R14 release--at least I now have the much-needed ability to add new content to the site again. Thanks!
